Ace Bailey ROY watch

[SoberasHotRod]

I just took a minute to look at rookie stats. There are only 17 rookies that average more than 15 minutes/game and have played at least 5 games: https://www.nba.com/stats/players/t...rExperience=Rookie&dir=A&sort=NBA_FANTASY_PTS

Unfortunately Ace and WCJ are towards the bottom of that list as far as productivity so far. I think Ace will get in contention for an all rookie team soon though. Here is where I would currently have the all rookie teams:

First Team:
Kon
VJ
Flagg
Coward
Harper

Second Team:
Kalkbrenner
Fears
CMB
Tre Johnson
Queen

It's interesting that things are shaking out very close to draft position so far. Obviously Kalkbrenner is the big surprise as playing much better than draft position.

What has happened to Harper? I have checked the box score the last 2 games and didn't even see his name listed at all.
He injured?

Here is an interesting tidbit I found after looking at those rookie comparisons using production per 36 min: WCJ has the second highest per minute total for combined rebounds/assist (12.7)- after Derik Queen at (13.5). Cedric Coward 12.2, Dylan Harper 12.1, and Noah Penda 12.0 are the next 3 in production....

After having to watch Taylor and Cody stone-faced for the past couple years, watching Ace as a rookie is refreshing.

Very excited about Ace this season. If he continues to have nights like last night with his athleticism and poise, ROY is definitely a possibility imo. I say possibility because it’s such a strong field this year and Ace still has some catching up to do with VJ, Kon and Flagg particularly.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I'm pretty surprised by how quickly he has adapted. He seems to now know he shouldn't just shoot every possible mid-range shot just because it's slightly open.

 

[LogGrad98]

Realistically he won't be in the discussion for ROY. I just hope he isn't a total flop and so far it looks like he might not be, so that's good news! Last things I'm expecting is a Donovan Mitchell level explosion in his rookie year.

IDK. Every night new career high. You gonna deny roy from a guy that's gonna score 90 eventually?!

You mother****ers need to get a ****ing hold of yourselves.

Letting the **** bag, moron known as @str8line lead this little group of bitches to believe that this, nappy wearing 2 year old is going to be ROY, is ****ed even for this place. The only team Ace will make come the post season is first team all useless.

now piss off all of you.

I've been very impressed. I'm not worried about him being a ball-hog anymore. Seems like he has nice feel, but maybe was just never coached enough on anything that wasn't scoring.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The race is still wide open. If Ace keeps the toward trajectory and doesn't have another long rough stretch, he has a shot. I think he's played hard and smart enough to really not be questioned in terms of starter minutes

The thing i like most about Bailey...he seems to enjoy playing basketball.

He has childlike charm. I wonder if that will always just be who he is.

If Jazz can keep their top 8 pick and add one more very good player next year they may be a playoff team
They should keep Lauri and Kessler and get Lauri to the playoffs when still in his prime

I mean I guess that is cool, but I get tired of these "youngest to do whatever" when the whatever is some random stat no one considers meaningful at all. Hey guys he is the youngest, by 3 days, to record 20 pts, EXACTLY 3 rebounds and 2 assists in EXACTLY 32 minutes of game time on a Tuesday in November while being guarded by another rookie who scored 10 points in a single quarter! Can you believe it?!??!

Ace looks awesome. No chucker instinct on display and his shot looks like butter. His ability to free himself up / create space to get shots off really pops.

We've got a few "score-first" minded guys but with the right usage rate he's a 25ppg guy and a super tough cover.
